HAH!  A herd of cows appeared right at my doorstep. I shall now produce a shitton of butter.

Sigh... I just noticed that there is a skill that allows tresspassing on people's claimed lands. Is there a way to make sure no one can just waltz into my lands? Like fences or something? Cause I'm fucking paranoid about people stealing my stuff...

First... trespassing takes away a coupla HHP. Second... you can use unlit fires. (Drying racks work too) They take a good while to burn through (20 minutes), and a wall of a couple of these easily scares away would-be robbers. (Best to make it so that robbers need to pass your claim twice... they'll get their HHP halved or something.

I'm also slightly worried about people stealing my trekking cart with stuff in it... Yea, I'm on the move now. Two chests, one tanning tub and one meat grinder. I'm in the middle of nowhere however, have no particularily valuable stuff (unless you count the chest full of butter) and already forcefielded my camp.

Hmm... by about how much does tresspassing lower your HHP?

I just killed my first boar. (LV 7, to boot!) It cost me nearly one quiver full of arrows and quite some time.

But... boar killed! Woo!

I made a little macro for anyone who uses AutoHotkey. If you install it you'll be able to alt-Left Click and have both the camera jump ahead of you and for your hearthling to walk in that direction, it basically keeps the camera ahead of you while your walking. I made it because my mouses scroll wheel is awful and I don't like having to press it and my left mouse button simultaneously.

Code: [Select]
!LButton::
IfWinActive Haven and Hearth
Click
Click Middle
return

I wanted to make ctrl or shift the prefix key but H&H doesn't respond to left clicks while either of those keys is pressed.

Hey people, if you're hungry, try eating some grapes. They need to be eaten to get seeds, so you're doing Bottleneck a favour while getting fed. I made two baskets by the entrance to our vineyard (just east of wheat), so drop seeds there if you can't plant grapes (it takes winemaking).

The game client client?  The closest thing a game client has to a client itself is the user, so...  You can enter a command on a game to crash a person (namely yourself)?  Interesting.

Another macro for people who use AutoHotkey:

Ctrl-click the left mouse button on something to drop it - it'll click there and then will click again in the top-left corner of the screen to drop it (assuming you don't have something covering that part of the screen - I figured that was the least likely area to be covered).
Code: [Select]
^LButton::
IfWinActive Haven and Hearth
Click
MouseX = 0
MouseY = 0
MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY
Sleep 300
MouseClick, left, 9, 35
MouseMove, MouseX, MouseY
return

If it doesn't drop it but leaves your cursor up there with the item on it, increase the sleep time, for example to 500, and keep trying higher numbers until it works. The higher the number, the longer it waits before clicking again, so... the slower it'll be, but more accomodating to lag or dialup.

P.S. 0x517A5D: You missed '!', which is the ILM profiler, whatever that is. (I found it by accident a few days ago but didn't bother looking for anything else like it)

Edit: Made it put the mouse back where it started.

i have a macro that will endlessly gather sticks, build ctachers, destroy them, bam *profit*. It even logs out and back in periodically.

this game is so grindy that macroing is the metagame.

Why even play the game if all you're going to do is use macros?
